Will the pitch of my voice impact my chances of getting the role? - im 15?

I am a rising actor and I have my first audition for a legitimate part in a feature film as a “Serrato Brother” and this movie is mostly about gangs and I’m auditioning for one of the brothers but my concern with this is my voice is not all that low for a 15 year old, it’s pretty high pitched and it’s irritating.... show more I am a rising actor and I have my first audition for a legitimate part in a feature film as a “Serrato Brother” and this movie is mostly about gangs and I’m auditioning for one of the brothers but my concern with this is my voice is not all that low for a 15 year old, it’s pretty high pitched and it’s irritating. Whenever I speak on the phone people sometimes think I’m a girl and it’s so embarrasing. I just was wondering if the pitch of my voice risks my chances on getting the part? Or if auditions are based on my skill of acting not the pitch of my voice?

Best Answer: I understand your worry, but look, you're signed up for the audition anyway, aren't you? So you'll soon find out. It's not as if you're going to back out of the audition if someone here tells you your voice won't fit. Nobody can say that: we're not the people looking for actors, and we don't know what they're after. They may not know exactly themselves.

Just go for the audition and don't try to pretend your voice is any different from what it is.
Who knows - even if they don't want it for this character, they may later on say 'Who was that young guy with the lighter voice? He'd be perfect in [whatever]'.

Go for the audition, if only for the experience of being auditioned. All experiences of that sort are valuable if you want to think of an acting career. You will learn that acting is a very people-oriented profession, and that each director etc has his or her own ideas about suitable actors.

Possibly. It just depends what the casting director is looking for.
They have a 'vision' of what the character should look/sound/act like.
If you fit that 'vision' and your acting is really good, you'll get cast.
If not - you won't.
But that's the same for all auditions.

no, do not ever worry about it, they used to make fun of Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice pitch as he'll never succeed to be an American actor, however, when he did his terminator series, the entire world became crazy of his acting because his voice really sounds as a machine.

Depending on the role they need, you may be a great asset with how your voice is. There are many uses to everyones abilities and how they come. Just do your thing and try your best- typically, that's what they look for: passion!
